We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which products every cyclist should own. Here are their 🚲 recommendations:

"Biking + small dog = BuddyRider. My 15-year-old Jack Russell Terrier loves that she can now safely come biking with us! Good for dogs 25 lbs and under. Be prepared for a LOT of looks." —Becky Lynn, Facebook

3.This bike lock that will release a chemical deterrent when compromised.

"I know it’s something that’s simple, but it really does save lives. I work in a bike shop and that is the one thing that we really want people to have just for the safety aspect of riding. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear a helmet!" —haleyc48795d171

"I work at a bike shop and many of us have searched far and wide for the best portable speaker to bring with us on a ride. We love the Shoqbox because it fits in our bottle cages and is tough in case of a crash (or if it happens to fall out). A portable speaker is much safer than traditional headphones (for those of us who commute) because we can still hear the traffic around us." —amarisl

"The perfect rolled-up tool kit for the beginner to the avid biker on the go. Fits perfectly under the seat and it's secure so it doesn’t rattle around. Never get stuck with a flat on the side of the road or in need of a tool for a quick repair again. You can even take the tools out and use it as a cell phone holder." —allisoneyres

9.This chamois cream to reduce that ~friction~ on your butt when you're riding.

"You can either buy a case that fits your phone type or attach the lock to the back of your existing phone case. The one lock is compatible with a bike mount, dashboard mount, or an arm band for running/working out. It's great to keep an eye on your stats as you're riding (if you track with an app), or you can rotate the mount to film as you ride." —k4100f8f1c

"A good seat! I usually ride 60-90 miles a week and being able to sit comfortably for a couple hours is really important. The right seat for you can mean the difference between being able to comfortably walk after your ride or being in pain for a couple days." —mrsh810

"This device has three functions as a light: strobe, steady, and rapid strobe. It also double as horn with a friendly tone, and an aggressive tone for those bad drivers. It's also USB rechargeable, which is handy as a commuter. I’ve come to love ORP.❤️" —leticiac4fef92186
